Key militant groups in the Kashmir insurgency DW 04/26/2025
Briefly

The recent attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 tourists, marks the deadliest violence in two decades. The Resistance Front (TRF), a group that emerged after significant political shifts in 2019, has claimed responsibility. In response to the attack, India has enacted several punitive measures against Pakistan, including suspending a water-sharing treaty and closing border crossings. Pakistan, on the other hand, has responded by cancelling Indian visas and closing its airspace. This incident has spotlighted the complex web of militant groups in Kashmir, many of which are alleged to receive support from Pakistan's military intelligence.
The Resistance Front (TRF) emerged in 2019 in response to the abrogation of Article 370, positioning itself as a secular movement while retaining traditional militant objectives.
Following the Pahalgam attack, India took swift actions against Pakistan, including suspending a water-sharing treaty, highlighting escalating tensions rooted in cross-border terrorism.
